Plain-English explanation

CSMS 64082249 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin (operational), published on February 11, 2025. It carries the official CBP guidance brokers and importers must follow for the topic — "UPDATED GUIDANCE: Updated FRN Published for Executive Order Issued February 1, 2025, as Amended February 5, 2025". CSMS messages are the operational layer between Commerce determinations and at-the-border collections: when Commerce publishes a new rate, scope ruling, or instruction, CBP turns it into a CSMS that ACE/ACS systems and brokers act on.

CSMS # 64082249 - UPDATED GUIDANCE: Updated FRN Published for Executive Order Issued February 1, 2025, as Amended February 5, 2025 U.S. Customs and Border Protection sent this bulletin at 02/11/2025 03:36 PM EST Cargo Systems Messaging Service CSMS # 64082249 - UPDATED GUIDANCE: Updated FRN Published for Executive Order Issued February 1, 2025, as Amended February 5, 2025 An updated Federal Register Notice (FRN ) has been posted for public inspection on the Executive Order (EO) amendment that added additional duties on imports that are the products of China, issued on February 5, 2025 (EO). As explained in the EO and FRN, the administrative exemption from duty and certain taxes at 19 U.S.C. 1321(a)(2)(C) — known as the “de minimis” exemption — will be available for articles previously covered by heading 9903.01.20 that are otherwise eligible for the exemption. The February 5, 2025, Executive Order “Amendment to Duties Addressing the Synthetic Opioid Supply Chain in the People’s Republic of China,” does not establish retroactive eligibility for de minimis treatment. Accordingly, CBP will not refund duties for any shipments denied de minimis prior to ACE’s resumption of processing de minimis clearances for shipments containing products of China and Hong Kong on February 7, 2025.

Frequently asked questions

What is CSMS 64082249?

CSMS 64082249 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin titled "UPDATED GUIDANCE: Updated FRN Published for Executive Order Issued February 1, 2025, as Amended February 5, 2025". CSMS bulletins are the operational instructions CBP issues to brokers, importers, and ACE filers covering rate changes, system updates, scope guidance, and other day-to-day customs-operations changes.

When was CSMS 64082249 published?

CBP published CSMS 64082249 on February 11, 2025. The bulletin's instructions are typically operative as of the publication date unless the body specifies a different effective date.

Is the CBP CSMS the legally binding instruction?

Yes — for at-the-border filing and entry collection. CSMS messages translate Commerce's Federal Register determinations into operational CBP instructions that ACE/ACS systems and brokers execute. The Federal Register notice is the underlying legal authority; the CSMS is the operational implementation. Both should be read together when reconciling a rate or scope change.
